Tengu Performance

In May, shortly before Kyodo co-hosted the 13th annual Intercollegiate Taiko Invitational at UCLA, the group performed at Tengu, a Japanese restaurant in Westwood Village.

As you can see, this performance was unique, due in part because Kyodo performed on the side-walk in front of the restaurant, facing the street. The guests had to come out of the restaurant and watch from the sides. This just goes to show that no matter what, the show must go on. It was definately a unique experience.

Here, David Okikawa, Kene Kubo and Andrew Chen play "Tatsu," one of our performance pieces.
